Based on a Lie...




Thoughts on Obama's 30 minute program tonight...

I think it was very well done so hats off to whoever put it together. I just think it's really sad that it was based on a lie. Barak Obama promised to solely run his campaign on federal money, but somewhere along the lines, he decided to change his mind and accept private funding...hence the expensive video which was produced and aired tonight. You have to think he's nervous with some of his live, closing statements asking citizens to "knock on people's doors" for him and "make some phone calls". I just hope that IF he wins, he'll be able to keep these promises to the American people or he's going to have some very unhappy citizens on his back. He's definately got a dream, but you have to be able to pay for the dream realistically! He definately knows how to market himself. I don't want the government running our healthcare! It sounds pretty, but that's what occurs in other countries and they're not happy about it. It's impossible to get in to see a doctor/dentist and the actual doctor care is almost non-existant.

I guess we'll all find out in a few days. Don't forget to vote everyone. :)

“Today, Barack Obama has revealed himself to be just another typical politician who will do and say whatever is most expedient for Barack Obama,” wrote communications director Jill Hazelbaker in a statement. “The true test of a candidate for president is whether he will stand on principle and keep his word to the American people. Barack Obama has failed that test today, and his reversal of his promise to participate in the public financing system undermines his call for a new type of politics.” (the Republican Party)

I agree about no national health care. Matt's brother and sister-in-law are in London and I don't think they are happy with it.

Ditto your health care comment! When Doug worked in Ireland, he saw a patient two years later for an ear ache. TWO YEARS LATER!!!!!! Gov. run health care is terrible.
